  1. You hit the nail on the head. This is the stupidest song I have ever heard next to Bruno Mars and his grenade tossing,

    I have my remote beside me and as soon as i hear either song I turn it off.

    Any idiot could make ho hey….just a bunch of noise.

    Glad to see someone else thinks like me.

    I hate it !!!!!

  2. thank you.
    I cannot stand this effing song. I’m in france. It is overplayed x overplayed times.
    Ready to start thumping people. AMEN.

  3. You are right, its an awful bore of a song. In the UK, its has featured on numerous grating tv commercials and promos for tv shows. I therefore cannot help but associate it with bland zombie consumerism. Music is supposed to elevate your spirit, transcend your soul, but this is too flat, too timid to do that. Definitely the favourite of pretentious middle class white kids.

  4. The first time I heard it I thought it sounded like the musical embodiment of pretentiousness and that hasn’t changed. First have a crowd sing parts of the song to make it come across like a beloved classic, when it’s not. Then put an accent on an unexpected syllable – sweetHEAA-AART to make it sound “smart,” when it’s not, and so on. It’s beyond bad. It’s an insult. And it makes me want to wretch.

  5. The first time I heard this song I was shopping at a Home Depot. My skin crawled. I got physically ill and considered stepping outside until the track was over. My mind got progressively more blown as YET ANOTHER VOLLEY OF “HO”s and “HEY”s spewed forth. I despised this song immediately. Makes me want to put my guitar down forever.
